i bought the timing set and im wanting to bump my timing to 18* but im wondering if i should wait till after winter to do it bc i dont want to risk a head gasket bc of too much drive pressure, think i should wait or will i be fine?

 

well first off do you have an amount of fuel that you will need 18*? second without studs i wouldnt go over 15.5*. third timing doesnt make drive pressure go up timing increases cylinder pressure.

 

What are your mods? Whats yoru timing set at now? If your timing is set at stock and a stock HG without studs Id set it at 16*.

 

i have the stuff in my sig, I have beat the hell out of it to see if it would blow the hg and it'll go as high as 40psi boost and nothin ever lets go. I have stock headbolts and all that good stuff i set mine to 15.5* i didnt want the extra wear and tear on my internal parts that high timing will cause is why i ddint go very high

 

idk y my sig didnt show up

94 12v 5speed south bend clutch, no plate, 4k gsk, rack plug, afe intake, 4" exhaust, afc washers flipped, ground aneroid arm, afc slid forward (stock timing... probably a little less, stock head gasket, stock head bolts)

 

Wow all that and runnin no plate what's the point of havin all that and not runnin a plate its like beating a dead horse

 

y would i want a plate? theres very little low boost fuel bc of the way i have the afc adjusted and ill gain nothing with a 0 plate or a 100 plate...

 

exactly thats the whole reason to tune your afc

 

go ahead and bump up the timing you will like the end result

 

ok ill go ahead and do it... not sure if i want 16 or 18
